I am getting frustrated here. I am not getting answers to posts (I got one but I am missing something obvious here). So some please answer these questions for me (answer any if you know the answer)

1. when I am in the developer page with my app listed, I go to Preview and add the app a) why does it show the content of my xml file there? What do I need to do or how do I set the content for the preview specifically?

2. I click install and my install page gets pinged with my uid passed in (and nothing else, no auth info at all) and I dutifully record the user in my db as having added the app. However, the stats don't show that any user has been added. Why not?

3. No app box from my app is showing up on my own profile. Why not?

4. I have seen other apps have different profile and canvas pages but when I view the source (which should be the xml file) I see no logic that is indicating which code is showing on the canvas vs profile page. In other words I don't see how they are displaying different info when there is no logic there to do so.

My app is running on myspace and this should be pretty quick and simple to get running on hi5 since its opensocial but its not at all working the same.

After I get the above figured out I need answers on how to use the RESTful api. There is so little information on actually using that, does someone have a tutorial or something written up? Just a simple pseudo code for getting a users name for example.

Gee, 2 days go by and not a single reply. Frustration level continues to increase. Where are the hi5 developers that should be answering questions on here within hours like on mySpace?

I have figured out 1 and 4 now. You can specify TYPE in the content tag of the xml or you can do this

if(gadgets.views.getCurrentView().getName()=='canvas')
{
var req = gadgets.io.makeRequest(app_host + "/index.ihtml", signRequestCompleted, req_params);
}
if(gadgets.views.getCurrentView().getName()=='preview')
{
var req = gadgets.io.makeRequest(app_host + "/hi5preview.ihtml", signRequestCompleted, req_params);
}
if(gadgets.views.getCurrentView().getName()=='profile')
{
var req = gadgets.io.makeRequest(app_host + "/hi5profile.ihtml", signRequestCompleted, req_params);
}

But 2 and 3 seem like bugs or I am missing some important step.

I am as frustrated too - I am also porting from myspace.

- I have issue 3) above right now. The app box not appearing in the profile (it was two days ago).
- also, instead of searing in this forum (which doesn't work), I just search google ("hi5 ....') and most of the time, it'll find answers in the forum
- I had heard good things about the Hi5 platform and support from friends. but so far, I am not impressed at all

Hi Russ,

Some answers to your questions -- apologies for the delay.

#2 - non-approved apps do not have the install numbers reported. We'll consider this a feature request. Thanks!

#3. Non approved apps are only visible in the developer sandbox (http://sandbox.hi5.com) We are currently experiencing some problems with this and it will be available later today.

"Non approved apps are only visible in the developer sandbox"

Then how do we test profile box? Since its no even appearing in the developer's sandbox/profile.

FYI: This comes up a lot in the profile page too:

jQuery is not defined
[Break on this error] jQuery(document).ready(function() {

Hi,

when you go to your profile, can you put "sandbox." as the domain prefix? (e.g., "sandbox.hi5.com/friend/...") and see if that brings the non approved app on the profile?

thanks.

I am finally making some progress here and will write up all of my findings to make it easier for other folks once I have everything working and figured out.

The sandbox is working for showing the profile now. Couple of new issues

1. when setting the cookie hi5authtoken is that set on my domain or the hi5 domain? It just doesn't seem to take.

2. I have a link in my profile

javascript:canvasURL('founditem.ihtml%3fitemid%3dXINODEDYIZ15&founduserid%3d225485184&opensocial_viewer_id%3d225485184')

That results in

?view-params=%22founditem.ihtml%3Fitemid%3DEASBYCMKCG7%26founduserid%3D225485184%26opensocial_viewer_id%3D225485184%22

being passed to my xml file. How does that get passed to my canvas page?

The canvasURL function is

function canvasURL(url) {
var cview = gadgets.views.getSupportedViews()["canvas"];
gadgets.views.requestNavigateTo(cview, url);
}

Shouldnt' that pass in the url variable to the canvas page directly?
